Birds Rest Easy as Mild Nebraska Winter Persists
The region reports a mild Nebraska Panhandle winter with temperatures near 70 in January and subzero limits rarely reached. Robins and other summer birds linger unusually late, while ducks and geese have not departed far south, ice fishing challenges persist, and farmers worry little about immediate damage though wind and lack of snow protection remain concerns. Late snow and early spring rains are wished for to offset March and April thaw risks.
